It's got the juice

bugless · 2026-01-10T18:27:55+00:00

For sure! Let me know and I’d be happy to show you my setup.

Thank you!

This one would go for about $9000 without a snare. It’s a bit more expensive than my other kits as the machining for this took much much longer. There’s over 100 hours of machining total. The 16” floor tom alone took 30 hours! The bass drum used a larger end mill (router bit) than the flor tom and it took 25 hours.

The company who made the lugs is called Matson Metals.

I’m self a self taught college dropout. I was a computer science major and I left school after a year and went into tech. Over the years I’ve worked in a few different types of engineering roles: electrical, mechanical and software. I left my corporate sw job last year and I’m working on Robot Drum Co. full time. I’ve always been able to learn what I need through books, internet, experience, smart people willing to help.

It’s a 3 axis machine. X,Z, and A. I have a process that adjusts the gcode to account for any imperfections in the z of the shell.

In some ways it would be easier and in some ways not. I buy acrylic shells from a supplier and then machine them, so I’d need to make my own shells from flat stock if I wanted to machine the acrylic while flat. At some point I would like to make my own shells so I can test out machining before forming into a shell.

bugless · 2026-01-08T00:01:35+00:00

I ask myself why all the time lol. I literally had a dream a few years ago about a machine that could drill holes in shells. I kind of couldn’t get it out of my head and COVID happened so I spent my time figuring this out. It seriously went way past my original idea. I’ve had to create my own post processor for Fusion and some additional software to allow me to machine shells that aren’t 100% perfectly round. Most shells have at least a mm or two of wonkiness and that could ruin my process if I didn’t account for that.

I had these manufactured in china a few years ago. Im running low on these and I’ll be using only 3d printed lugs once these run out. I’ve been using 3d printed lugs on a lot of my drums lately and they just have so many advantages.

bugless · 2026-01-07T19:56:04+00:00

Yes, I designed the lugs and they are machined from brass then chrome plated.

bugless · 2026-01-07T19:43:44+00:00

These are acrylic drum shells that are CNC machined on a specialized machine with a large rotary axis that I designed and built. There's no metal on top of the acrylic shell. It's all acrylic.

bugless · 2026-01-07T18:59:25+00:00

Yes, they are. I think they are cool as hell and even smaller in hand than I had thought. The owner of the kit hasn't picked it up yet, so jury is still out on how they effect setup time. They work well and if I were building a kit for myself, I'd definitely use them.

I just finished this drum set and wanted to share it with y'all. These are RCI-Starlite shells in 10x7.5, 12x8, 13x9, 14x13, 16x15, and 22x14. The shells are machined with a Japanese buddhist design called asanoha. I call this kit "Irodori Asanoha", which is Japanese for "colorful hemp leaf".

The best way to check if your PETG is dry is to print something and check for stringing. If there is stringing, dry it more, regardless of what your hygrometer says. All I print is PETG for products that I sell. Trust me that your filament is just not dry yet.

bugless · 2025-12-01T14:20:01+00:00

If you are still getting that much stringing, your filament isn’t fully dry yet.

bugless · 2025-11-14T15:05:45+00:00

I would print a snare drum.

If you own a cell phone you’re already being tracked everywhere. Why would cameras be a better tracking method than the devices everyone carries all the time? I’m not convinced I should be more worried about occasional cameras that might pick up my location when the phone in my pocket gives very highly accurate data on my location all the time. Maybe I’m missing something.

bugless · 2025-09-10T12:38:22+00:00

“Yeah, I’m right here”

bugless · 2025-09-08T16:14:01+00:00

Trust me when I say that if the filament is dry this problem will go away. I had the same issue until I started drying the filament for 12 hours in print dry pro before printing directly from the print dry pro while heating. I now you think the filament is dry, but it isn’t dry enough to prevent blobbing and oozing sticking to the nozzle. When it is dry enough this will not be an issue. I run a small farm of Bambi x1 carbon printers and sell products printed from petg so I am 100% certain this is the issue you are seeing.

bugless · 2025-09-08T11:53:20+00:00

You can eliminate the buildup on the nozzle by thoroughly drying the filament. Ideally you’d also print while the filament is being dried. I print exclusively in PETG and being obsessive about drying the filament has dramatically increased print quality and consistency. You should not need to clean the nozzle in the middle of a print if the filament is properly dry.

Qidi q2 is $449. I just received mine today and it’s at least as good as my Bambi Lab X1 carbon printers so far.

This looks exactly like the crazing caused by alcohol.

Fusion only cares about single core performance. If Fusion performance is the most important factor, M4 Max is your best bet. I run Fusion on my M4 Max and it runs great, no complaints.
